While running from the Aiguillette des Posettes to the Col des Montets, you also cross the AIguille Rouge Nature Reserve. Some chamois and wild board live in this area.

In the place known as "Les Ardoisières" there are some eagles. Don't look at the sky but keep focused on the race !

We ask runners to protect the nature reserve by running only on the paths and keeping their wastes.
